AAP's uses ideas to earn votes, doesn't believe in Lokpal: BJP

The party claimed Lokpal is only something AAP presented as an issue to reach out to people, they don't believe in it

Taking a jibe at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday said that the ideas the former uses are only to earn votes and that it does not actually believe in the Lokpal.

"Lokpal is only something AAP presented as an issue to reach out to people, they don't believe in it. Ideas AAP gathers are only to earn votes, they are not committed to it. This is their model and I hope Delhi people don't get this model as governance," said party spokesperson Nalin Kohli.

The AAP had earlier on Sunday released a 45-minute video of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's impassioned speech, a day after the removal of senior leaders Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav, Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha from the National Executive.

In the speech, Kejriwal says "he was betrayed" and "knifed in the back", and ends with an appeal to the council to choose between them and him.

Meanwhile, the supporters of Yadav and Bhushan have reportedly alleged that the video was clearly edited.
